Ever notice how often JRPG heroes land in jail? It's like a rule; the heroes can mow down any number of guards or soldiers (or monsters, or ancient cosmic horrors), but if anyone ever yells, "You're under arrest!" or "Take them away!" or even just "Freeze!", then the heroes have to drop their weapons and assume the position. Of course, they almost never stay in jail for long.

Usually, someone lets them out, or they find a secret passage, or they overpower their one inept guard, and then it's just a short walk to the box with all their stuff in it, if the guards even took their stuff in the first place. Of course, you couldn't have a whole RPG where the heroes stay in prison... or could you? And if so, what would it be like?

Vita owners can find out on October 15th, when Valhalla Knights 3, a game that takes that question and runs with it, comes out on both retail shelves and PlayStation Store. The whole action-RPG is set in a medieval prison called Carceron, a converted fortress surrounded by war-torn wildlands.
